Lucas Harrell lasted just two innings in tonight's game against Oakland before leaving the game with a groin strain. That might have hastened what was going to be an early exit anyway, as Harrell once again struggled with his control and effectiveness. Harrell allowed three hits, walked four and gave up a run before leaving with the injury.
Fantasy Impact
Coming on the heels of his last start, this was nothing short of a disaster for Harrell, who is trying to hold down the fifth starter's role. Derek Holland has made three starts at Triple-A and hasn't been that effective, so Harrell had a chance to hold his spot with a solid outing. At this point, the outlook for that happening is not good.
